Croes-Carn-Einion Farm
CROES-CARN-EINION FARM: Private airstrip (Aka BASSALEG)
Note: All six of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: Just S and E of the Pentre-poeth Road and WSW of Bassaleg. About 3.5nm WSW of Newport city centre
Period of operation: 2007 to -
Runway: This is very interesting if not unique. The Google Earth © 2006 picture above clearly shows a 700 metre runway being laid out.
04/22 560 grass
NOTES: I have to thank Mr Karel Adams, a great friend of this 'Guide' for pointing out this airstrip. One feature which is most unusual, if not unique in the UK is that the aircraft, (probably a Robin R3000?), is taxied along the farm access road to its parking spot.
The Robin R3000/160 G-PAVL was based here from July 2007 until August 2018.
As always in this 'Guide' if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
